March 23, 2007 we are here in Lake City, Florida. The 1st thing we did when we got here, after hooking up, we went to DMV and got our Florida Driver Licenses, opened up a bank account here, and did the laundry. We are now residents of Florida because they don't have personal income tax, which will save us money on Dave's retirement. Now they do have other ways to get your money like if you owned property, but we don't so we are OK there. It's basically too expensive to keep Calif. as our main residents. Will see if this all works, I hated giving up my Calif. drivers license though. Anyway, like I said in the other blog, we had a good time at the rally, the last day we booked a Piggyback Train thru Copper Canyon Tour. It's 29 days long, we start off at Presidio Texas and end up in Nogales Arizona. It's not until next January 24, 2008 so the cruise that we had booked for December will definitely be cancelled. Other then that expensive reservation we really didn't buy too much. New sensor for our tanks, mat for outside the coach, went to some seminars, some stuff we knew other stuff was informative. Hated to say Goodbye to the new friends that we had met at the pre-rally they were really great people. Shirley and Fred, Joe and Lucinda, Bobby and Louise, Rosemarie and Bob, Fran and Bond, Janice and Dewayne, Linda and Joe (also from Calif) and the others. The last day too of the rally we saw two couples that we had met at the Monaco repair place in Oregon last August.
The Oak Ridge Boys concert was pretty good, I hadn't heard any songs that I had known, Dave was napping thru part of it so we left early. We did so much walking and riding our bikes the 6 days that we were there that we were really very tired. It was nice to get back to the coach early and relax since we were hitting the road at 6 a.m.
Tomorrow we head out for Lebanon Tennessee will write again from there.
